Siberian regionalism (Russian: Сибирское областничество, romanizedSibirskoye oblastnichestvo, lit.'Siberian oblast movement') was a political movement that advocated for the formation of an autonomous Siberian state. The idea originated in the mid-19th century and reached a high tide with the White movement military activities of Aleksandr Kolchak (1874–1920) and Viktor Pepelyayev (1885–1920) during the Russian Civil War of 1917–1922.[1]
